Got to the port of Houston and was suprised at how quick and easy embarkation was handled. Got to the port a little early, around 10:30, got our luggage to a porter and parked the car. The port opened early, about 10:45. With three lanes open, the security line moved quickly and as Platinum Latitudes members we went straight to check-in.
